Inside this 1907 manual:
Show card writing was a trade of its own, and this 1907 manual teaches it like one: one-stroke show card alphabets, price-ticket and sale-card layouts. Show card writers, retail advertisers, and sign painters lettering retail work — price tickets, sale cards, window displays — will find alphabets sized for real card work. Card writers kept books like this at the counter, lettering real tickets between lessons.
